Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</p></div>

Q: Which asphalt is the best for a driveway?

• <div><p>A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It&rsquo;s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.</p></div>

Q: How long do asphalt driveways last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">Asphalt driveways last</a> anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don&rsquo;t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It&rsquo;s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.</p></div>

Q: What are the parts of the driveway approach?

• <div><p>A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain. </p></div>
